Once the leads start rolling in—what happens next?

In Episode 3 of The Lounge by Travefy’s Sales Workshop Series, we chat with Angela Hughes, CEO of Trips & Ships Luxury Travel and founder of Luxury Travel University, to unpack how to design a sales workflow that actually works.

Angela shares how to qualify clients effectively, when to charge fees, how to balance automation with personal connection, and why consistency—not hustle—is the real key to conversions. From the first discovery call to post-trip follow-up, this episode walks you through a repeatable system that keeps your pipeline flowing and clients returning.

• How to turn leads into real opportunities (not dead ends)

• When, and how, to confidently introduce your service fee
• Where to automate vs. when to stay human
• The “follow-up framework” that turns happy travelers into repeat clients
